I have often thought of the fabric costs of making a quilt.
Thinking about a queen Size 90" x 90" quilt - that equals MIN. of 6-6.5 yards backing. At $9 per = $54-60
And probably 8-10 yards fabric for pieced top. At $9 per = $90. Add $25 to $30 batting, and whatever thread you use etc.
Absolutely min. for quilt shop fabric quilt at least $175.00 (cheap version)to over $250.00.
GULP!!! Ask why we should keep all of our scraps on hand? WOW
